As the Tamil remake of Malayalam super hit film Drishyam` that will have Ulaganayagan` Kamal Haasan in lead role, was launched recently the film`s director Jeetu Joseph has received a legal notice from noted Bollywood producer Ekta Kapoor.

Ekta, has acquired the rights of Japanese film The Devotion of Suspect X` based on a novel written by Keigo Higashino. Drirshyam` story allegedly has similarities with the novel and since the film is going o be remade in Hindi also, Ekta has felt that the prospects of her project will be affected.

Jeetu has however said `Drishyam` is no way connected the Japanese film which he watched after he received Ekta`s notice Since both the movies are about murder cover-ups the allegation has raised but the similarities between creative works are quite unavoidable.

Jeetu also assured that Ekta need not worry about her project as remake of Drishyam` is completely not based on the Japanese film or book. He also said he will not be directing the Hindi remake of Drishyam` since he has prior commitments in Malayalam.
